Ciloxan eye drops and its generic counterpart, Ciprofloxacin drops, are medications which are antibiotics and they are prescribed to patients for the treatment of eye infections caused by bacteria.  Ciprofloxacin can also be used to treat ulcers in the cornea of the eye and will also fight bacteria in the body in general.  Ciloxan eye drops may also be prescribed to a patient for other uses, depending on what their doctor thinks is best for them.  An online Canadian pharmacy can offer more information on Canadian prescriptions as well as over the counter medications.

 

Ciloxan eye drops and Ciprofloxacin drops may have side effects that are associated with their use.  Not all individuals will experience side effects associated with these medications, but other individuals may experience one or more of the associated side effects.  Mild itching in eyes, mild burning in eyes, redness of eyes, eye irritation, blurred vision, dry eyes, watery eyes, puffy eyelids, sensation that something is in your eye, whitish build up in your eye for those using these medications for eye ulcer treatment, nausea and an unpleasant taste in the mouth after using eye drops.  While none of these fore mentioned side effects are life threatening, you will need to notify your doctor immediately if you begin experiencing any of these effects.  At this time, your doctor will need to advise you on whether or not you should continue using either of these medications.  Unfortunately, there are other less common, more severe side effects that are associated with the use of Ciloxan eye drops and Ciprofloxacin drops and they are as follows:  Severe allergic reactions, severe swelling around the eyes, severe itching of the eyes, severe burning sensation in the eyes, severe redness, severe discomfort of any type in and around eyes, eye pain, vision changes, eyes have increased sensitivity to the light, signs of new infection like drainage and crusting and the signs of any skin rash whether it is mild or severe. 

 

It is recommended that you contact emergency medical assistance immediately if you begin to experience any of these more severe side effects.  Of course, your doctor will also need to be notified as soon as possible of these severe reactions occurring.  You will need to discontinue your use of Ciloxan eye drops or Ciprofloxacin drops immediately if severe side effects occur.

 

It will not be likely that any other drugs that you are taking orally or injecting will have an effect on the way that Ciloxan eye drops or Ciprofloxacin drops work.  However, you will still want to discuss any medications that you are currently taking with your doctor before they prescribe your Ciloxan eye drops as some medications may be more likely to affect the way these eye drops work.  Blood thinners and theophylline should definitely not be taken with Ciloxan or Ciprofloxacin as they have been known to alter the way these medications work.
